I don't know when, Xia Yiming appeared behind me without saying a word, until Yu'er wiped the tears on her cheeks and said, "Little General"

I turned my head abruptly and looked at Xia Yiming affectionately

For a second, I seemed to see another kind of love in his eyes

"Big brother" I called softly, Xia Yiming retracted his expression and smiled

He said happily, "Seeing that you have returned safe and sound, my eldest brother is relieved"

I smiled sweetly, and the two rows of white jade teeth became a beautiful sight.

"I'm fine, I'm worried about my eldest brother"

"You have also been frightened a lot during this time, and you will have a good rest when you return to the house, you see that you have lost weight" Xia Yiming's eyes were full of tenderness, and he raised his hand as he spoke, wanting to touch my cheek, I unconsciously took a step back, and his hand was stretched out in the air so stiffly.

His face was full of embarrassment, he pretended to cough, stretched out his hand, and said embarrassedly, "That, there is still something in the palace, then I will leave first, you have a good rest, and I will come to see you when I am done"

"Okay," I agreed neatly, urging "Big brother should go ahead of time."

Xia Yiming nodded, glanced at me, turned around and left my courtyard

I asked Yu'er what happened to Beijing recently, and Yu'er told me that shortly after we left, the emperor was poisoned again and was in danger, but fortunately, Wei Yi rushed back in time, and Imperial Doctor Zhang took the Baihua snake and snake gall bladder according to my prescription, which was relieved and saved the emperor's life. However, because it was too toxic, it caused the cough and asthma to worsen and evolved into tuberculosis.

Soon, the news of the emperor's serious illness gathered day by day, and the neighboring countries got the news that the emperor was seriously ill in the east. Nominally, it was a free clinic for the emperor, but they all knew that their move was nothing more than mocking Donglin, a huge Donglin country, but they were helpless against their emperor's illness.

At the same time, the White Horse Country, which was eyeing me to the east, took the opportunity to harass me to the border in the east, and Xia Fuzhi was seriously injured before this.

In the court, in order to stabilize the country, the ministers jointly wrote a letter, begging the emperor to establish the crown prince.

The emperor was seriously ill and had no intention of government, and in the face of internal and external troubles, coupled with the pressure of his ministers, he had to establish a prince, and finally Situ Xian was promoted to the position of prince.

Among the princes, those who performed the crown ceremony were given the king's mansion and moved out of the palace

Listening to Yu'er's narration, I reluctantly sighed, the world is impermanent, who knows what will happen in the next moment, I originally thought that a white flower snake was enough to save the emperor's life, but now I think about it, I am still too naïve

"Then how is the emperor now?" I then asked Yu'er

Yu'er frowned, and she continued to speak

Nowadays, the emperor's health is also getting worse day by day. The imperial doctors of the entire Tai Hospital were helpless, but fortunately, the envoys of various countries came to meet today.

Speaking of the mission, I remembered the convoy I met on the way back to the General's Mansion, and I couldn't help but be a little curious, and asked Yu'er with doubts

"When the mission enters Beijing, who generally receives it"

"The Ministry of Rites" Yu'er replied, "The Ministry of Rites is in charge of various etiquette, responsible for scientific research, receiving foreign guests, etc. ”

"Oh, the Ministry of Rites?" I wondered, "According to what you say, it is the business of the Ministry of Etiquette to receive foreign guests, why did I see that it was Situ Chen who led them into the palace?"

Going around and around, I still went back to Situ Chen, but what Yu'er said next made me regret asking this question a little.

Uncomfortable, inexplicably uncomfortable
